About VERITE.SERVICES
Founded in 1993, Verite Producciones has established itself as a leader in audiovisual production in Panama. With over 20 years of experience providing production services to foreign companies, we have worked with top-tier clients such as Bunim-Murray Productions, Bright Bay Creative, World Race Productions, Critical Content, Discovery Channel, FOX Television, Miss Universe, Inc., and the renowned YouTuber Mr. Beast.
Panama offers a unique combination of logistical and economic advantages. It is a recognized air, sea, and communications hub, with direct flights to over 90 cities and a modern banking system based on the US dollar. This ensures your production moves quickly, safely, and efficiently.
Our versatility has been proven in international productions, with the ability to transform locations to represent places like Bolivia and Haiti in "Quantum of Solace," or the island of Corto Maltese in "The Suicide Squad."

Why Panama?
Panama's versatility as a location has been widely demonstrated not only by Hollywood franchises but also as a frequent choice for reality shows and digital content creators, including MTV's "The Challenge" franchise, CBS's "Amazing Race," NBC's "Deal or No Deal Island," and the renowned YouTuber "Mr. Beast," who have returned on multiple occasions. Its compact size and modern road infrastructure facilitate movement between diverse settings—from the Atlantic to the Pacific in just over an hour—allowing for efficient production schedules.
Beyond its stunning beaches, mountains, and rainforests, Panama is a recognized air, sea, and communications hub. Its central location in the Americas connects over 90 cities with daily direct flights, and its international banking system based on the US dollar ensures safe and fast money transfers.
We are proud of our country's commitment to the environment. Along with Bhutan and Suriname, Panama is one of only three carbon-negative countries in the world. At Verite Producciones, we support these efforts with the country's only 100% solar-powered studio and by encouraging productions to reduce their carbon footprint through waste reduction and other sustainable practices.

Currency
The Balboa is the official currency, and it is tied to the US Dollar. Legal tender is the US Dollar as no Panamanian paper currency exists. Panamanian coins do exist and circulate.
Measurement Standard
Officially Metric, but Imperial is of common usage as well. A bit confusing but a sign of how cosmopolitan this country is.
